Vintage Mid-Century Nude Portrait Gouache on Board
We were primarily drawn to the dark yet warm palette of this mid-to-late 20th century nude portrait of a woman. Portrayed in a neo-figurative manner, typified by loose brushwork and expressive anatomical detail, she stands against a dark aubergine background that contrasts with her form and is repeated in her contours.
Signed L.G.H. the board has a curve that has been straightened and strengthened by a vintage ply board backer, meaning a hook can be applied for hanging. The painted board surface is well worn, with cracking and fading in places adding a sense of age but =sit comfortably alongside the broad brushstrokes of the artist.

Measures approx. 45.5cm by 35.5cm
